Bit of a trouser-browner. :-?

Then again, all that pressure in a composite tank? Guess the tank burned through then bang! :o

I guess, being stored as a gas, once the cylinder ruptures, all of the fuel is immediately released whereas with LPG it will remain liquid until it has absorbed enough heat to vapourise.

be nice to use it straight from the gas line at 15p/l equivalent from British Gas tho...


i read on a site somewhere there is a pump you can install at home to pump it straight from your gas line but i don't know how legal that would be avoiding fuel taxes e.t.c :-/

thanks to all for the replies me thinks a little more research is needed!
